Just Another Girl

Aster Flynn is stuck. She has to spend all of her "free" time with her younger sister, Lily, who, though fifteen, is mentally handicapped. At age seventeen, Aster should be hanging out with friends, dating boys, and working at a fun job. But her dad's MIA, her mom is always at work, and her older sister Rose is too self-centered to give her any help. It's not that Aster doesn't love Lily--it's just that for once she'd like to be able to be a normal teenager. So when a cute popular guy seems to take an interest in her, Aster hatches a plan. Somehow she has to get her workaholic mom and deadbeat dad to be the parents Lily needs so that Aster can have a life of her own. But can she ever get her parents to start acting like adults? Is this new guy worth the trouble? And, most importantly, will Lily get hurt in the process? With its real-life characters and struggles, Just Another Girl will immediately draw teen girls in. Author Melody Carlson knows how to write to girls just where they are.

Romantic Suicide is a book for the romantic who just cant seem to get it right. Its also for the romantic who wants to get it right the first time. In the pages within, I am going to share with you the 45 unbreakable rules I have learned over the years for avoiding what I call romantic suicidei.e. doing something foolish (but preventable) during the first few months of a relationship that scares her (or him) off. It is not a book on how to put your best foot forward; it is a book on how to avoid putting your foot in your mouth. It is not a book on how to present yourself in your best light; it is a book on how to avoid covering up your light with a scary shadow. And it is not a book on how to keep the girl (or guy) of your dreams; it is a book on how to avoid losing her. Read this book and embrace its lessons and you will never again commit romantic suicide. I learned all of this the hard way. If you read this book, you won't have to.

Nostalgia is a funny thing, isn’t it? Sometimes it reminds us of a period in the past that makes us so very unhappy but sometimes brings to mind, things that gave us the most happiness. These memories, good or bad, are the only things we will be carrying with us, no matter where life takes us. These memories are what make us who we are. I am eighteen years old and going off to college and even though the world would call me an “adult,” I still feel like I have so much left to see and learn. Join me, Alisha, as I take a walk down memory lane to a time when teenage drama was at its peak, hashtags were not “cool,” the battle with acne was never-ending, feelings for a boy wavered more than an opera singer’s voice, when friends and family did not mean two different things, and every single problem seemed to be the end of the world. Stand with me as I recollect every blunder I committed and be sure to smile with me as I remember all the high moments in life. For all you know, you might even be able to relate to a thing or two. So sit back, relax, and forget all about your drama as you read about mine. Love, Just Another Teenage Girl.
